April Freeman has qualified in Congressional District 17 as the Democrat Nominee

Wed, Jun 29, 2016

April Freeman (D) no longer has a primary opponent and will be challenging Representative Tom Rooney (R), and John Sawyer (NPA) in the November 8th general election.

Mr. Sawyer, qualified in the race last week, he is a self identified Tea Party Candidate. Mr. Sawyer is expected to draw votes from Mr. Rooney.

With Freeman enjoying 48% base vote, Mr. Sawyer entering the race, and the Trump effect, there is an excellent opportunity to swing this district blue. Freeman will continue to hold fundraisers, meet-and-greets, coffees, forums, and other local events throughout this district. She is adding staff, interns, and volunteers to stand out in this district.
